If a dessert doesn't have chocolate it's not as good. Period.

Sometimes I don't understand people and desserts. If you want to eat something healthier that's only kind of a dessert, fine. I get that. But don't try to convince me that whatever it is you're eating is as good as a real dessert. If you look at the above picture and can even question for a second which one is better, you probably should be banned from all dessert related conversations going forward.
